living cost

[Michael Parnham]

I know of a few people living very comfortable lives in the Philippines on considerably less then 1000 pounds a month, although admittedly they own their houses outright and have mopeds or use public transport to get around.
Of course there will need to be some compromise in the lifestyle, but with the right attitude it is going to be more then possible.

Ricky, if you look at some of my old posts you will see that my wife and I lived on approx. £800 per month and after paying rent and utility bills shopping ect we still managed to save £400 per month and we appeared to be quite well off compared to the locals!

I agree with what you are saying Michael , when there are only the 2 of you to support most of the time, it can be done and comfortable too
